HYGIENIC VALUE OF SINGING.
It Develops I.iica, Chest and Man,
Other lioilily Oritans.
When one considers how many thou
sands of yomiK men and women are
studying thu rt of singing, and how
very few of tln-m ever learn it well
I'liough to earn their living by It, or to
Sire anybody niueh pleasure,' one feels
Inclined to look on the vast amount of
time spent on vocal exercises us so
many hours wasted. But there Is an
other point of view which is not often
enough emphasized. In a recent num
ber of a German journal devoted to
laryngolgy Dr. Harth hits an article dis
cussing with Cerumn thoroughness the
utility of singing from a hygienic point
of view. Every bodily organ Is
strengthened by exercise; singers exer
cise their lungs more than other people;
therefore, he says, we find that singers
have the strongest and soundest lungs.
Tllu average Herman takes Into his
lunci Z,.M cubic centimeters of air at
a breath, while professional singers
take In 4,000 to 5,000. The tenor Ounz
was able to lill his lungs at one gasp
with air enough to sullice for the sing
ing of the whole of Schumann's song,
"The Itose, the Lily," and one of the
old Italian sopranists was able to thrill
up and down the chromatic scale two
octaves In one breath.
The singer not only supplies his lungs
with more vitalizing oxygen thau other
persons do, but he subjects the muscles
of his breathing apparatus tor several
hours a day to a course of most bene
ficial gymnastics. Almost all the mus
cles of the neck and chest are directly
or Indirectly Involved In these gymnas
tics. The habit of deep breathing cul
tivated by singers enlarges the chest
cupaclty, and gives to singers that erect
ami imposing attitude, which is so de
sirable and so much admired. The ribs,
too, are rendered more elastic, and
singers do not In old age suffer from
the breathing dillicultles to which oth
ers are so much subject. By exercis
ing so many muscles singing further
more Improves the appetite, most vo
calists being noted for their Inclination
to good meals. The nose of a singer
Is kept Iu a healthy condition by being
imperatively aud constantly needed for
breathing purposes, the Injurious
mouth breathing so much Indulged In
by others being Impossible In this case.
That the ear, too, Is cultivated, need
not be added. In short, there is hardly
any kind of gymnastics that exercises
and benefits so many organs as singing
does. New York Home Journal.
Sea Water for lilnod.
M. Qninton, as a consequence of his
researches in evolution, believes that
as all the higher organisms, according
to the teachings of evolution, have as
cended from a less highly organized
marine ancestry, the liquid which
bathes all the cells of tho individual
ought to be chemically similar to sea
water. During experiments made at
the college of France a dty was bled to
Buch an extent that death would have
inevitably followed had the animal
been left alone. It was then given an
intravenous injection of gen water. Ten
lays after the operation the dog
showed, as tested by the colorimeter,
a larger proportion of hemoglobin than
before the bleeding. All dogs experi
mented on not only survived, but re
covered with remarkable quickness. M.
Qninton thinks it is on account of its
holding in suspension tho same salts
which are constituents of sea water
that artilioi.il serum holds the reputa
tion that it docs, and that sea water is
physiologically superior.
THE CAICKTAKKlt.

Caretaker is a word adopted into modern
use and menus one who takes care of, and
is very generally applied to those employed
to tuke care of things committed to their
keeping. The way some people have of
taking care of themselves is vcrv suggestive
of tlie need of a curutakur. The human
body to such is a mansion hlU'd with pre
cious things utinired for, where thieves
may break in and rust doth corrupt. Pains
and aches nre thieves, at.d the bodv left,
niienred for to their spoliuge will lie riihbed
of all its comforts and despoiled ol its peace
of mind and huppiuess. It is a happy
thought to look upon St. Jacobs Oil us a
caretaker, to employ it as a watchman
against such intruders. There is hardly
nu acne, lroni a tooinncne to a toeacne
thnt it can't take care of and effect a cure
and oaiiis the most violent are coiwnierpij
uy its use. its omce as a caretaker is to
prevent the spread of aches and pains Into
a chronic stage. Keep a bottle of it in the
handiest place and be ussured of goud care
and comfort.
